Facts

The ASCE ranked roads as one of Ohio's #1 infrastructure concerns ahead of schools, bridges, drinking water, waste water and solid waste.

ODOT estimates that the purchasing power of each dollar of public funds for repairs has decreased by 7% annually since 2012.

State and Federal funding barely provides for ODOT's heavily-used roads and bridges; the trickle-down effect has local governments struggling to meet the basic infrastructure funding needs.
